{{Resolved/mini|res| Sims with ambiguous genders/ages will have this noted in the Sim infobox and the article text, and will be categorized accordingly}}
Recently, I have seen a lot of reverted edits (not quite an edit war) due to different opinions of the sex of some Sims. For example, the Sims [[Lucy Mole]] and [[Hannah Keebles]]. These Sims are glitched and were created early in TS2's production (or perhaps due to being created early in production). They have the appearance of females, but their sex is classified as male and they have the voice of a male.
Line 58:
The response above seems to be overwhelmingly in support of the third option. As a result, Sims with ambiguous ages and genders will have 'ambiguous' marked in their infoboxes, and they will be categorized based on this parameter. It would also be helpful to have this information reflected somewhere in the article text to explain the situation. This conclusion may take some time to implement, but the general guideline that has been established should be able to guide us from now on.
Thank you to everyone who participated in figuring out this issue. <s>Thread closed.</s> -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">LostInRiverview</font>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">talk</font>]] ~ [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">blog</font>]]</sup>''' 00:56, August 31, 2013 (UTC)

Ok, I re-opened this thread while we work on implementing what it decided. I've gone ahead and moved the pages from Category:Gender confused Sims to [[:Category:Sims with an ambiguous gender]]. The next step is to edit the Sim bio templates to recognize the parameter 'ambiguous' (I suppose we could also make it recognize 'ambig' as a valid response too). If someone wants to hop on that, go ahead. I'll be creating [[:Category:Sims with an ambiguous age]] to catch any Sims falling into that criteria. I don't know of any Sims this applies too (that's not to say it doesn't), so I think we can probably wait for the bio templates to be updated before we work on rolling this out fully.
Something of note - currently the articles in Category:Sims with an ambiguous gender are manually categorized; when the bio templates are updated, that manual category can probably be removed from the page.
Please use this thread to keep everyone updated on implementation of this decision. -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">LostInRiverview</font>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">talk</font>]] ~ [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">blog</font>]]</sup>''' 01:17, August 31, 2013 (UTC)
